I'm in synch too with Mary Quant's HAVOC created by Guy Robert.

Havoc is a mossy, green, aldehydic chypre with an aquatic floracy
about it. It does seem a little plasticky and over-sweet at the start
and is obviously not as well funded as Robert's other creations (Caleche,
Dioressence etc) but I love it nonetheless for the retro vibe it recreates for me.

Good morning!

Sorry, not in sync this morning. SotD is Indult Tihota. Need something calming and good.
It's -13F and I didn't get any sleep last night, not a good combo to start the day. I hope
everyone else has a good day though.

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

In synch with No. 22 a new love and new discovery for me in 2011 and my first (and only) full bottle of the exclusifs line.

"Like a lobster with a pearl in its claw, the beet held the jasmine firmly without crushing or obscuring it. Beet lifted jasmine, the way a bullnecked partner lifts a ballerina, and the pair came on stage on citron's fluty cue. As if jasmine were a collection of beautiful paintings, beet hung it in the galleries of the nose, insured it against fire or theft, threw a party to celebrate it. Citron mailed the invitations."

Hedonist, love the way you revel in your fragrance passions! If 10 sprays are good, 20 must be fabulous! Spray on, sir!

Shades, hope you're feeling better.

In sync in Lancome's Climat today. You're all smelling especially great today!

Thanks PerfumedLady.

Funnily enough a man hailing from the Subcontinent of India complimented how good I smelled.

I asked if it smelt familiar and he said yes very much.
I said it should because it's a blend of sandalwood and roses.
Both of which are abundant naturally and used a lot in fragrance in that geographic area.

Re: SOTD Friday 13th of January 2012

I'm in MDCI Promesse de l'aube this morning. All this talk about Chanel is making me crave 31 Rue Cambon, so I will switch to that later on, so as to be in synch and in scent heaven at the same time. Take care, all.

Re: SOTD Friday 13th of January 2012

I'm in synch today with Chanel no 22, but sort of wish I had picked something else. It's just not working for me today ... oh well.

Thanks, PerfumedLady, I'm feeling well enough to go out and pick paint samples. yuck. We have someone here replacing some bad siding on our house and I wasn't expecting him to be working on it this soon. I hadn't even thought about paint. I've decided not to change colors at this time, and just match what we already have: cream body with navy blue trim. (Who is surprised at the blue? lol)
